ADHD Coaching A Guide for Mental Health Professionals

This updated edition of ADHD Coaching: A Guide for Mental Health Professionals describes the underlying principles as well as the nuts and bolts of the process of coaching.

Step‐by‐step details for gathering information, conducting the intake, establishing goals and objectives, and working through all stages of coaching are included, along with helpful forms and a detailed list of additional resources. The authors discuss the practicalities of setting up a practice as well as professional issues that may arise. Five richly detailed case studies illustrate how to help adults, college students, and adolescents who present with a variety of ADHD symptoms. Each case study highlights a different aspect of the coaching process and includes a description and background history of the client, selected transcripts from actual sessions, interwoven with discussion of the case material. Forms and procedures used in the coaching process are included in sufficient detail that readers can replicate the coaching process.
